Episode 201 with Thomas Milic plus Mask Refurbishing Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

Episode 201 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a fantastic interview with World Junior Championship gold-medal winner Thomas Milic.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Milic shares some behind-the-scenes insights into that memorable championship run with Canada, including some great advice on how to embrace the stress of some incredibly pressure-packed moments and instil confidence in your teammates. Milic also talked about his technical and tactical progression leading up to this moment, including his impressive use of an overlap technique he didn't really love at first but learned in part through InGoal Premium and used so effectively in the tournament. And yes, we talk about size and the misconceptions that come with being a 6-foot goalie, and how he manages it so well even if NHL teams used it as a reason to pass him over in his first two NHL Draft, a mistake that seems unlikely to be repeated this summer.

All that, plus a trip to the new location of The Hockey Shop Source for Sports (now in Langley) for some valuable insights -- and necessary parts -- to help breathe new life into your mask and make sure it lasts longer (and stinks less) while still keeping you safe.

Episode 200 with Roberto Luongo plus Puck Out Pad Cleaner Jan 07, 2023

Show notes

We celebrate Episode 200 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, with the return of a very special guest from our first episode, Hall of Fame goalie Roberto Luongo.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Luongo reveals that he actually doesn't do podcast interviews ... except ours ... twice now ... so we were incredibly honoured to have one of the game's all-time greats back to talk about his recent induction to the Hall of Fame and reflect on the career that got him there. For all the awards, records and accolades Luongo piled up during that career, including two Olympic gold medals, you might be surprised to learn what he is most proud of from his 18 NHL seasons with the New York Islanders, Vancouver Canucks and Florida Panthers.

Luongo, who now works for the Panthers as a special advisor to the GM and director of their goaltending department. also talks about how his game evolved during that time, and how he's seeing the game change for the goalies playing since he return in 2019, and what he thinks is next.

All that, plus a trip to the new location of The Hockey Shop Source for Sports (now in Langley) for a great story about a current Canucks goalie, and how his habit putting Vaseline on his pads before games to prevent puck marks was ended thanks to some Puck Out purchased at The Hockey Shop.

Episode 199 with Andrew Hammond plus the True L20.2 Offshore line Dec 31, 2022

Show notes

Episode 199 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a deep-dive conversation on the career of recently retired NHL goalie Andrew Hammond.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Hammond takes you into -- and well beyond -- his historic 2015 run with Ottawa that saw him called up from the minors to go 20-1-2 with a .941 save percentage, backstopping the struggling Senators to a previously unimaginable playoff spot while fans threw McDonald's hamburger on the ice to celebrate his "Hamburglar" nickname from college.

While that run made Hammond famous, it's far from the more fascinating part of his journey, which included uncertainty beyond his time playing tier-2 junior hockey in BC, then the same unsettled future towards the end of his NCAA career at Bowling Green. Hammond shares valuable lessons from each step, as well as from his time in the NHL before and after the Senators run, and the reason he felt he played better when he was at the highest level, including a .939 see percentage with the Colorado Avalanche in the 2018 playoffs, and a .920 with the Montreal Canadiens just last season, before suffering an ankle injury that ultimately forced him to announce his retirement last week.

All that, plus a trip to the new location of The Hockey Shop Source for Sports (now in Langley) for a look at the recent arrival of the new True 20.2 offshore line "Designed by Lefevre."

Episode 198 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features an incredibly fun, informative conversation with former Chicago Blackhawks goalie and current TNT and St. Louis Blues television analyst Darren Pang.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Pang shares his roots in the game, including how and why his dad talked him into becoming a goalie when all he originally wanted to do was score goals; his path to the NHL, including the importance of believing in and standing up for yourself, even if it takes call to the General Manager on a Sunday night; the impact and importance of having a goalie coach like Wayne Thomas as far back as the 1980s; and being bullied by Iron Mike Keenan, and the story of writing an actual book on NHL shooters that the infamous coach commandeered for himself.

This half hour interview barely scratches the surface of Pang's incredible life in -- and impact on -- the game and the position, but still includes incredible stories from his career as a goalie and broadcaster, including his thoughts on the modern game and how it's changing again, as well as a long list of insights that will help goalies of every age and style.
